Use the Remove-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet to remove fully or partially completed export requests. You can create multiple export requests for a specified mailbox provided that you specify a distinct name. Completed export requests aren't cleared automatically; they need to be removed by using this cmdlet.

Note:

When a partially completed export request is removed, content already exported isn't removed from the PST file. If you want to start a new export request to the same file name and start with an empty PST file, you need to rename or delete the previous PST file.

The parameter set that requires the Identity parameter allows you to remove a fully or partially completed export request.

The parameter set that requires the RequestGuid and RequestQueue parameters is used for Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service (MRS) debugging purposes only.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Import Export" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the export request. By default, export requests are named <alias>\MailboxExportX (where X = 0–9). Use the following syntax: <alias>\<name>.

You can't use this parameter in conjunction with the RequestGuid parameter.

RequestGuid

Required

System.Guid

The RequestGuid parameter specifies the unique identifier for the export request. To find the export request GUID, use the Get-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet. If you specify the RequestGuid parameter, you must also specify the RequestQueue parameter. You can't use this parameter in conjunction with the Identity parameter.

RequestQueue

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseIdParameter

The RequestQueue parameter specifies the mailbox database on which the request is being performed. This parameter accepts the following values:

GUID of the database

Database name

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
